Dynamically Reference object name

[TheLostLeaf]

I am trying to dynamically create the object name..... but i can't get
it to work...

From This (works)

------------------------------------------------------------------
label1.Text = newDeck[0].ToString();
label2.Text = newDeck[1].ToString();
label3.Text = newDeck[2].ToString();
label4.Text = newDeck[3].ToString();
label5.Text = newDeck[4].ToString();
To This (errors)
----------------------------------------------------------------
for (int i = 1,i<6,i++)
{
label+i.Text = newDeck[i-1].ToString();
}

You will need to reference the label by name or index.

ie this.Controls["label" + i.ToString()"].Text = ...

I am not sure if the string indexer is new to .net 2.0 so you might have
to iterate through the controls to find the one that matches based on
the name if using .net 1.*.
